National Tank Truck Carriers on Monday, March 20, revealed the winners of its Grand, Honor, and Merit awards. Grand Award recipients selected in the first round of the 2022 North American Safety Contest now move on to compete for prestigious Heil Trophies.
NTTC will name three safety champions, including two for-hire carriers and, for the first time, one private fleet. For-hire NTTC members compete for the Harvison and Sutherland division crowns. The Harvison division includes Classes 1-5 for carriers with more than 15 million miles traveled in 2022, and the Sutherland division includes Classes 6-10 for carriers whose trucks traveled fewer than 15 million miles.
The three North American safety champions will be revealed May 23 during NTTC’s 2023 Annual Conference and Exhibits in Boston, Massachusetts.
